Entering the Unknown Territory

Today is the eighth day of my nine-day dry-fasting attempt. I feel fine. I slept for twelve and a half hours. It was a bit difficult to fall asleep, but I woke up extremely well rested. From now on I’m entering in the unknown territory, since I have never dry-fasted for longer than seven and a half days in my life. I don’t feel thirsty, nor do I feel any dryness in my mouth. I’ve been urinating for about a big glass and a half everyday including today. My mind is extremely clear, but I feel physically slow.

Locked in-between Moods

The only real downside I’ve been experiencing so far during this fast, are moments when I feel locked in-between moods. I’ve been having periods, when I don’t feel like I have enough energy to do some productive work, at the same time I don’t feel sleepy enough to get some real rest. Being in such a state of mind feels like a big waste of time. That’s why last night, although it was Saturday night and the upstairs neighbors where partying like crazy, I forced myself to go to bed at 11:00PM.

Nighttime Healing Crises

Several times during the night I woke up due to usual healing crises which occur during a dry-fast.  In addition to the usual healing crisis symptoms, I have been experiencing a new sensation during this fast that I had not experienced before. While I’ve been trying to fall asleep, I had some sort of random spasms coming from the center of my nervous system. As if I was getting shocked with electricity. It’s not just a sensation, since each time it occurred, I was actually moving physically. I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad sign. I’m thinking it’s probably a part of the healing process during a dry-fast of this length.

Sunbathing

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sunbath for about an hour at the lake. I often mention it throughout this blog, and I can’t emphasis it enough. Sunbathing combined with dry-fasting feels extremely good! Today is a wonderful spring day in Buenos Aires, the sun is out, and the temperature is about 22 degrees Celsius (71°F). I am definitely going to take advantage of this beautiful day. I’m going to head to the “Parque 3 de Ferbero”, and take as much sunlight as I can.

Feeling Grateful

I am extremely exited that I’ve made it to unknown terrain. I hope all this experience will have a positive effect on my overall health and productivity. So far it has been making me love life even more than before. Fasting can be challenging at times, but at he end of the day it’s a wonderful gift that allows our bodies and souls to repair themselves, and feel better. I am so grateful to be alive, and be able to enjoy life at its fullest.
